The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care Vegetable & Tuna Stew Canned Cat Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your cat’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function with proven nutrition developed by nutritionists and veterinarians.
- Stimulates appetite and increases caloric intake, and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

Pets can be sensitive to sudden changes in their diets. For this reason, it is extremely important to follow a gradual transition plan to best support your pet's health and product effectiveness. It is recommended to follow at least a 7-day transition plan before exclusively feeding your pet a new food. Cats will often refuse mixed diets, so we recommend adding the new food to a separate bowl from the old food. Start by mixing 75% of your pet's current diet with 25% of the new diet on Day 1 and Day 2. On Day 3 and Day 4, mix 50% of the current diet with 50% of the new diet. On Day 5 and Day 6, mix 25% of the current diet with 75% of the new diet. On Day 7, you can feed your pet the new food exclusively. Ask your Veterinarian about the best way to transition your pet to a new food.
| Transition Day | Current Diet | New Diet |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1-2 | 75% | 25% |
| Days 3-4 | 50% | 50% |
| Days 5-6 | 25% | 75% |
| Day 7 | 0% | 100% |

Cat loves this Kidney Care 2.9 oz over the 5 oz K.C.
By hardie on Sep 11, 2020
The larger can of chicken K.C. my cat barely tolerated and was really hungry; other cats ended up eating. When I offered her this she loved it right away. She still only eats a few licks but I can feed her more often and not so much that the other cats will get any more than a minimum of what is left in bowl. Before this new kind she would fall back on eating her K.C. chicken dry food too fast and end up vomiting it. With this different food now to eat she is able to also eat her dry K.C. more slowing chewing it up instead of swallowing the bits whole.

Sharkie Loves It!
By PixieMom on Oct 6, 2020
...and thank goodness, because the bladder stone he had to have surgically removed was considered ‘complex’ and wouldn’t dissolve with the other prescription food. Thanks to Chewy’s excellent return policy, I was able to quickly get him on the right food to maintain him from now on. He loves the stew, and licks the plate clean!

My cats favorite
By CatMomma on Sep 4, 2020
The customer service rep. Was a great help and very friendly. She helped to get prescription for the food from the Veterinarian and get the food ordered the same day. My Vet was having a deficit time getting the food but Chewy had it and put a notice in for when the other food comes in stock.

My boy loves it!
By RoniJ on Aug 18, 2020 Top 50 Contributor
My beautiful Maine Coon boy Lorenzo will be 18 in October, and has always been slender and never had a sick day in his long life. However, a dramatic weight loss called for a complete blood panel last Friday and revealed advanced kidney disease. Before ordering cases of K/D food from Chewy, I asked our vet to put up one can each of four Hill's varieties, and this was the first one he ate. He devoured it with gusto. Same with the next three (chicken stew with vegetables, and the two paté formulas, chicken and tuna). I ordered one case each of this and the chicken pate´yesterday, and they arrived today after Chewy's customer service called my vet while I was on the phone with her.

According to feeding guidelines, I figure one can of each, total 8.4 ounces, will meet his nutritional needs at his 8 lb weight. I thought it would be a challenge to switch him to this food (formerly a combination of Am. Journey Duck kibble and Weruva canned food), and to keep my other two younger cats from eating this, but Lorenzo downs it so quickly that standing by to watch him enjoy it takes only a few minutes. This is an expensive food, but worth it to me to see Lorenzo stabilize and maybe have several more months, if not years, as a beloved member of our family. … more

finally a flavor he loves
By Debra on Sep 17, 2020
My senior with developing kidney issues has been very set in his ways for many years, so it was hard to switch to a prescription food. My vet recommended Hill's for quality and value. He was not thrilled with the other flavor, but when I tried this tuna he ate it all. Very relieved!

She likes it!
By Morgie on Sep 22, 2020
My older cat Ebony will enjoy any wet food with fish or seafood, but I was concerned that she may reject a KD prescription. She actually prefers it to her old food which our boy eats next to her.

Ate it the first time only
By Spanky on Sep 11, 2020
He’s starving himself to death and has turned away with a nauseated look on his face. Greenies have started to wet his appetite for his o,d food only which is proplan grain free chicken and veggies.
